We're Making a TV Pilot!

The Powerhouse crew is very excited to announce that we will be working on an animated pilot for the beloved Irish comedy Mrs. Brown's Boys! This project has been in the works for a while and this week we finally met with the MBB team to kick it off.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Mrs. Brown's Boys-- it is a wildly popular BBC sitcom featuring acclaimed Irish comedian and radio host Brendan O'Carroll. The show, which just completed its second season and is in production on a third, has won an impressive array of awards including the 2012 BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) award for best comedy series, as well as best actor for Brendan.

The show also won the award for Best Comedy Show at this year's UK TV Choice Awards and has been growing in popularity ever since it debuted on the air in 2011.

Back in March, Brendan and his team announced that they would be taking their quirky cross-dressing comedy to the next level with an animated series: "Brendan O'Carroll's Mrs Brown creation goes global in comic cartoon caper." I think it goes without saying that Powerhouse is thrilled to be brought on board as the studio to bring their vision to life!

We can't wait to get started on this project and are really grateful to be included in what we are sure will be a tremendous success.

Thanks to Stephen and Leo for taking the time to come visit us this week and get things rolling. We are so happy to be a part of the Mrs Brown's team!
